New Teen Center
Draws Crowd On
Opening Night
If the huge crowd that attended the first opening of the Armory
is any indication of its success there
will certainly be no doubt about
it.
The new Youth Center is
open to students attending
Lourdes senior high school,
Rochester senior high school
and Junior College.
At one time during the evening
nearly six hundred people packed
the dance floor. The music was
furnished by a phonograph and
records that the students loaned.
Cokes and other soft drinks were
served downstairs.
Mayor and Mrs. Claude McQuillan, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Hooper represented the city.
Miss Lois Holtzinger and Mr.
and Mrs. Dewey Holtorf represented the Junior Junction.
Mr. and Mrs. Bennyhoff and Mr.
and Mrs. Eugene Wenfe were the
chaperones. They were assisted by
four members of the Rochester National Guard.
The grand opening will be held
in a few weeks. At that time an
orchestra will furnish the music and
the lounge will be completed downstairs. The students must also vote
on a name for the Youth Center.
Four J. C. Instructors
Attend Mankato Confab
On Saturday, October 8, Miss
Hillestad, Miss Evans, Miss Madden, and Mr. Kortz of the Rochester Junior College faculty journeyed to Mankato, Minnesota, to attend a meeting of the commercial
teachers of southern Minnesota,
held at Mankato State Teachers
College.
This is the second year that an
annual workshop of this type has
been held. The purpose of these
meetings is to develop new and better techniques in teaching the commercial subjects, and to give instructors in both colleges and high
schools a chance to discuss their
problems in teaching.
One of the things discussed at
this meeting was the new functional method of Gregg shorthand, the
new method of shorthand which is
being taught this year, for the first
time, here at the Junior College.

Over IRC Meeting
e first IRC meeting was held

Church on Tuesday, September 27.
Viola Kutcher, representing Norman
Reid who" was" unable to attend,
opened the meeting.
One of the first duties of each
year's club is to appoint a nominating committee. This year's group
consists of: . Peggy Roberts, Earl
Emelson and Edith Larson. At the
next meeting, at least two candidates will have been selected for
each office by the committee.
Other members of the club may
add to the list of nominees. Members will then elect the officers from
among the candidates.
Next on the agenda was a description of the club and its founders by Mr. Bateman. The meetings will begin with a short business discussion, but .the main portion of the time will be taken for
a discussion on a topic which will
be presented along the lines of the

A Newman Club is being organized among Catholic students at
Rochester Junior College to promote religious, cultural, and social
activities under the guidance of Fr.
Richard Feiten, chaplain.
The club spread over the compasses throughout the world is
named in honor of Cardinal John
Henry Newman, eminent nineteenth
century English writer and educator. The'eminent and generally
accepted scholarship of this saintly
man makes the choice of the name
most proper. His contribution to
the world of letters, "Idea of a
University," would be sufficient to
give him the stature needed by one
whose name connotes direction in

In 1946, under the direction of
Dr. Charles Sheard of the Mayo
Clinic, the Rochester Junior College
introduced a two-year course in
Ophthalmic Optics to train a limited number of carefully selected
persons in the intricacies and details of the making and fitting of
visual aids, a course which has
proved most successful and has
sent out graduates td_many parts
of the U. S. It was the vision and
foresight of the director, Dr. Sheard
which made the course possible and
to which it owes its growing reputation.
For three years Dr. Sheard
volunteered his services and
this fall, which saw his retirement from the staff of the
Mayo Clinic, he joined the R.
J. C. faculty as a full time professor and as Director of the
Ophthalmic Optics course, because he believes wholeheartedly in youth and in the education of youth, and because
in his own words, "There's no
fun like work." In this day
and age of gloom and pessimistic forecasts it is refreshing
to hear from such an illustrious
scholar as Dr. Sheard that he
consider himself lucky because
he has good health and is
happy in his profession, but we
wonder whether it is merely
luck or whether his positive attitude toward life and people,
his driving spirit in the field of
research, and his hopeful attitude toward the future haven't
had more to do with his success. -
Dr. Sheard was born in Dolge-
ville, N. York in 1883 and went to
school there. In 1903 he received
his B. A. degree from St. Lawrence

Emily's Identity
Is Revealed
Who is Emily? Emily (Kay Olson) is the luscious daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Carter Reade
(Jean LaFavor and Tom Moran)
whose second child, Natalie (Violet Woodworth), is not quite grown
up, but can trap a man just as
slyly as her beautiful sister. They
are both so full of schemes and
tricks that they make husbands begin to doubt their own wives.
Then there's the ever faithful,
obedient maid, Laura (Wilma
Naves), very gullible and somewhat given to eavesdropping. It
is she who introduces Emily's timid
fiance, Douglas Everett (George
Ploetz,) and who helps the big,
broad-shouldered lifeguard, Tom
Wells (Owen Spring), attempt another daring rescue.
Put them all together and you
get one of the most delightful one-
act comedies ever to come to Rochester Junior College. "The Nine
Lives of Emily," under the competent direction of Miss McGhee, will
be presented Tuesday, October 18,
af 10 a.m. in the Central Auditorium. Don't miss this rollicking bit
of fun for all J. C!
The production crew includes
Noel' Gray, lighting,- Dolores Kreinbring, make-up.; Evan Evanhoff,
Nancy Cullen, and Trudy Rankenburg, properties.
Y. W. C. A. Rents
Club Rooms to J. C.
The Y. W. C. A. has agreed to
allow R. J. C. students to use the
Merry-Go-Round as a club room
between the hours of 11 a.m. to
2:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays
from September 12, 1949 through
April 28, 1950 excluding vacation
time.
If the sale of food warrants it,
the period may be extended to
May 19, 1950 without further
charge. The present fee the J. C.
has paid is $500.
The Y. W. C. A. will provide a
snack bar hostess, regular weekly
janitorial service, and game equipment and music. The student body
will have to meet some conditions,
too. One or two students will help
the hostess each day; the students
must help to keep the place in
order; and the students must pay
for any property damaged or destroyed.
